No one's surprised to see another five stars review for this book. I mean, have you read this book? Cause I finally have after way too many years since it's been published. Better late than never, right?

Gemina focused on another couple, Hanna and Nik. She's the daughter of the Commander on Heimdall and he's a dealer coming from a criminal family. Their dads couldn't be more different. One is great and the other, not so much. Even though Hanna and Nik were the focus here, we got to see characters

I AM DEAD. THIS BOOK. OH MY GAWD. ALL THE FEELS.

There were honestly times where I felt like hate-rating this book 1 star for no other reason than DO NOT TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THAT DAMMIT. There were SO MANY cliffhangers in this book and SO MANY times that (view spoiler) ;u;

I really REALLY love this book though, omgawd. Nik and Ella are sarcastic little shits and Ella was my favourite from the first moment she wrote a message. I mean,

I loved this book just as much as the first one it also had a group of very compelling characters and a great story. I loved the characters so much my favorites were Hanna,Nik and Ella I really liked the strong female character that Hanna was which was to fight on no matter what. I liked Nik for how selfless and just how great in a crisis he was. I really loved Ella for her no nonsense approach on life I liked how witty and I just liked how interesting she was. I also loved the relationship that ...more

“You might get only one shot. So shoot. You know who said that?"
The rifle clatters to the bloody floor.
"Hanna F****** Donnelly. That's who.”

Hanna is the daughter of Jump Station Heimdall's captain, and has lived a fairly pampered life, while Nik was born into a crime family and has had to fight to keep his hands as clean as he could keep them. Life is pretty mundane on the station that they Hypatia is trying desperately to get to when BeiTech sends a team to annihilate the station and wait for t

These books are amazing! I love how the story is told without normal narrative, but it's so engaging. This has totally pulled me in and I'm already dying for part 3, 2018 noooooooooo!

At first I was thrown by the new characters, but fell in love with them just as much as the first book. The inclusion of the characters we knew was fabulous and tied in perfectly. Seeing some characters who were mentioned in the first book in more detail was nice too.

Overall amazing book that ripped me to shreds in

Gemina was everything I wanted it to be: gritty, witty, and adventuresome. I love the concept of surviving in outer space. And this book brought that concept to the next level with not only alien life forms that fed on brains, but also with a team of soldiers infiltrating the space ship. It was a high-stakes book and it always kept me on my toes and wanting to know more. I’m still a little confused about how gemina particles were important to the story, but overall I loved Hanna and Niklas’s sto ...more

I love the format of these books!
The graphic and interactive nature of the writing is amazing. I liked seeing the journal entries, how the pages become more and more chaotic as the battles ensue and the wormhole is collapsing.

So this book takes place just after the events of book 1. A team of mercenaries are set to wipe out Space station Heimdall

Love love this series! What an epic second installment at the edge of my set the entire time this so science fiction at a whole new level. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this Illuminae gang.
